The Nympheliac in me

This month, Catrice is having a new collection in stores called Nymphelia. I got the opportunity to try some of the products and make a look with them. I worked with these fabulous green products and because I’m very muich into smokey eyes lately, I made a green smokey look with them. My inspiration came from the video I found about these products.

This is the look I came up with and because the sun was shining and therefor I had good light, I decided to do a picture tutorial.Dit is de look die ik gemaakt heb en ondat de zon scheen en ik dus goed licht had, heb ik besloten er ook een foto tutorial voor te maken.

This blogpost has a lot of pictures so if you want to see it you have to click.Deze blogpost bevat erg veel foto’s dus als je hem wilt zien moet je even klikken.

I started out with a primer like I always do. After that I used the eyeliner that’s in this gorgeous Smokey Eyes palette called Love, Peas & Harmony. Use a brush to pat the eyeshadow on your moving eyelid, I used a concealer brush because it’s flat.

After that you can use the Eyeliner Pen from this collection called Black Green. It’s a lovely dark green colour and I like it a lot. It can give you a very fine line because of the small point.
I have to warm you though: this pen gave me a lot of staining on my skin. After I removed my make-up I couldn’t get rid of the stripes that it left and it took about 24 hours to completely fade.

Take the darkest eyeshadow from the palette and use a slanted eyeliner brush to add some of the shadow on the lower lashline, where you put the eyeliner. That way the line becomes a bit more smoked out. You can blend this as far down if you want but I kept it pretty clean. The more you blend it down the more smokey your look will be.

Then curl your lashes and apply a mascara. There is an awesome green mascara in this collection but I didn’t get it so I used a black one. I’m getting the green one when this collection is in stores though.

You’re done with the eyes now.
I got the blush from this collection and it’s sooooo beautiful. So if you can get it I highly recommend it. It has a little bit of a shine to it and you can apply it very light but you can build it up to a good colour too. I mean it: this blush is gorgeous.😀

I really like these dark colours and I think the products from this collection are great. I use this double wing eyeliner a lot and it’s not very difficult but it looks really fun and different, especially if you clean up between the two lines. That makes them really stand out.

But wait… Because there are very, very, very cool lashes in this collection. They’re not exactly wearable for an everyday look when you go to work but they are a lot of fun and I just wanted to show you this look with these lashes too.

The lashes are a bit difficult to apply. If you’re not very experienced with false lashes you might have some troubles with these beauties because the band is quite thick and doesn’t bend very well and it’s still a bit visible after you’ve applied the lashes. Keep that in mind if you want to use then for a look. They are pretty and give a really great effect though, so if you’re into false lashes like me, I think you do need these in your collection.

That’s it for my very first tutorial on my new blog. What do you think? Did you like the look? I used to put all of these pictures in a little film on Youtube but I know only half the people actually look at those video’s so I decided to do it this way. What would you prefer, a tutorial like this where I just put all of the pictures in a row or do you want me to put them in a video?
I won’t film tutorials so that’s not an option.😉
